The French leave

I've become famous (more like infamous) for my propensity for the "the French leave."

A French leave refers to the act of leaving a party without bidding farewell to -- and thereby not disturbing -- the host.

In American culture it's considered rude to leave a party without saying goodbye, but -- in my mind -- it's much more rude to create a scene over the fact that you're leaving; air kisses and phony sentiments are not for me!

On this subject I am unapologetic.

I think that the French -- and dogs -- got it right. Dogs, you ask? Yup, in the wonderful world of canines there are no goodbyes, only hellos!

Well, now that I know that, I'm not so worried. I kind of wondered, because the last time you stopped comicking, it seemed (to my late-coming eyes) to be well planned. This time, I didn't know if you just up and died or what (of course, I assumed not, but you never know). If you do it again, I'll just take it in stride. Lovely to have you back!

About Me

Hi my name is Tera,
I'm a struggling artist and super successful waitress.
I'm 20-something and looking for the next great love of my life, whether it be some exciting new pursuit or a partner who makes me so crazy I want to smash myself in the face with a non-stick frying pan.
In the meanwhile I'm going get out my frustrations by writing this blog and a mostly true autobiographical comic.
Here's my website: www.tera101.weebly.com
